PAINESVILLE, Ohio—The Lake Erie College men's basketball team was held scoreless for the final eight-and-a-half minutes of the first half as Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) South Division foe Walsh University ran away with a 72-51 win in Painesville Saturday evening (Feb. 9).

Kenny Kornowski and Hrvoje Vucic combined to go 17-of-26 from the field for 21 and 18 points respectively to lead the Cavaliers (14-6, 10-6 GLIAC).

The Storm (7-14, 4-13 GLIAC) exchanged points early in the first-half with the Cavaliers but the Cavaliers were able to pull ahead in part to Vucic's play off the bench, as he ended the first-half with 13 points on five -of-seven shooting.

The Storm went 1:37 into the second-half before Andy Bosley (Columbus, Ohio/Orange) finally found the bottom of the net for the Storm. The Cavaliers continued to keep a comfortable lead, going up by as much as 26.

Four Cavaliers ended the game in double-figures: Kornowski (21), Vucic (18), Ryan Vanderhorst (14) and Rian Burrell (10). Kornowski also grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. Walsh shot 48.3% (28-of-58) from the field while outrebounding the Storm 40-36.
